    • AMシリーズ合金（AM50、AM60）は、現在自動車コックピットダイカスト部品に最も広く使用されている材料ですが、より高い機械的特性を持つMg合金への要求が高まっています。Mg-REシリーズ合金は優れた高温特性を持ちますが、高コストが欠点です。
    • ダイカストプロセス条件と金型設計は、薄肉大型Mg合金ダイカスト部品の品質に大きな影響を与え、最適化された設計とプロセス制御が重要です。特に、薄肉部品の場合、不良が発生しやすいため、綿密な工程管理が必要です。
    • 真空ダイカスト（Vacuum-assisted HPDC）は、Mg合金ダイカスト部品の気孔率（Porosity）を低減し、機械的特性を向上させる効果的な方法です。
    • 表面処理は、Mg合金部品の耐食性確保に不可欠であり、様々な表面処理技術（化成処理、アルマイト処理など）が適用可能です。
  • 統計的/定性的分析結果:
    • 様々な市販Mg合金（AZ91、AM50、AM60、WE43、WE54）の材料特性（YS、UTS、Elongation）を比較分析し、各合金の長所と短所、および適用分野を提示しています（Table 1, 2, 3）。

    • 真空ダイカストと通常のHPDCのLA42合金鋳造時の気孔分布と機械的特性を比較分析し、真空ダイカストの効果を実証しています（Fig. 11）。
  • データ解釈:
    • Mg合金は、軽量性、剛性、強度などの優れた特性を持ち、自動車部品の軽量化に貢献できますが、低い伸び、耐食性、高コストなどの欠点も持っています。
    • 薄肉大型Mg合金ダイカスト部品の製造を成功させるためには、材料選定、プロセス最適化、金型設計、表面処理など、すべての要素を総合的に考慮する必要があります。
    • 技術開発とコスト削減を通じて、Mg合金ダイカスト部品の自動車への適用範囲をさらに拡大できると期待されます。
